Favorite part of fall fishing
The comfort and the changing scenery of the Fall season is such a relief. The fish are generally smaller in size but that’s to be expected. I just enjoy being out there fishing in the fall.

He loved God and country.Great family man and a natural born leader.He finished that tour of duty and went back in Korean War but was discharged medically and honorable then returned to Georgia and went to college on G.I. Bill got a degree in Pharmacy and had his hometown Drugstore until his death in 1991.He fished on his off days while his friends golfed.He got me fishing as soon as I could hold a pole and took me anytime he could. He taught me the good things in life, right from wrong and what it meant to serve our country.

Co-angler deep water strategy?
Koz you know u can fish with me anytime next Spring but I realize my tournament days are over.i just had 4 level lumbar fusion in June and it’s a game changer.i’ll miss the competition but I look forward to slowing down and fishing for fun.I hope you can get the boat suitable for you so you can compete at the boater position because you have the competitive fire.Tight lines!

Co-angler deep water strategy?
I’ve fished Lanier since I was a kid.It’s a great bass fishing lake 9 months out of the year but these days I wouldn’t go near (Oceanier) we call it during the summer time.As @koz said conditions were brutal with boat traffic and heat.That lake is rough as a cobb in August and dangerous to boot.If I had to fish it i’d run up the river and try my luck with largemouth.No wonder so many zeros.

I think I boated my first catfish.
I caught a 29 pound flathead in bass tournament on Oconee throwing a Texas rigged pumpkin Zoom lizard dipped in jj’s Magic. I’ve since quit putting that garlic on there because of all the dang catfish harassment.

Glenn, How Is Your Recovery Coming Along?
21-23 June I underwent L2-L3-L4-L5-S1 fusion. after 5 weeks my recovery is progressing well but the healing process is slow.Like @Captain Phil I was looking at a wheelchair and had no other options at this point.I’m 67 and should’ve had this done 8 years ago but was too hardheaded.Doctor says I should be able to fish in my bass boat again by November which is very encouraging but I understand things will be very different from now on and slow and steady wins the race.Good luck to all of you who suffer from severe back pain.

Do you have a hard time getting motivated to go out in the rain even though you know that’s when the giants are crushing?
I’ll fish all day in rain but as I’ve aged I don’t launch in a hard rain.
